Important

Your report will only be visible to maintainers and select collaborators until a fix is released.


Disclosure Process

We aim to respond to reports within 2–3 business days.
If confirmed:

  1. We'll investigate and prepare a fix in a private branch or fork.
  2. We may coordinate with you on the disclosure timeline.
  3. We'll publish a GitHub Security Advisory and credit contributors (if applicable).

Requesting a CVE

If the issue meets CVE criteria and you want one assigned, let us know in your report.
GitHub is a CVE Numbering Authority and can issue one after disclosure.


Scope

This policy applies only to the official marchat codebase:
https://github.com/Cod-e-Codes/marchat

It does not cover:

  • Misconfigurations in self-hosted deployments
  • Issues caused by modified forks or downstream packaging
  • General UX/UI feedback or feature requests

Diagnostics output

The -doctor / -doctor-json commands print masked values for sensitive MARCHAT_* variables; avoid sharing raw process environment dumps alongside doctor output. For air-gapped hosts, set MARCHAT_DOCTOR_NO_NETWORK=1 so doctor does not call the GitHub API.
